1. Acceptance

By registering as a vendor on the Petit Lunch platform at vendor.petitlunch.com, you agree to these Vendor Terms of Service. These terms form a binding agreement between your business and Petit Lunch Inc. ("Petit Lunch", "we", "our"), incorporated in Canada.

2. The Service

Petit Lunch provides a marketplace platform connecting food vendors with Canadian K–12 schools and parents. Petit Lunch is a technology intermediary — we do not prepare, handle, or deliver food. You are solely responsible for the preparation, safety, allergen accuracy, and timely delivery of meals you sell through the platform.

3. Eligibility and Onboarding

You must be a registered Canadian business with a valid CRA business number.
You must complete Stripe Connect onboarding to receive payouts.
You must be approved by the relevant school board(s) before serving schools in their jurisdiction.
You must maintain all required food handling licences and permits for each province in which you operate.

4. Commissions and Payouts

Platform commission

Petit Lunch charges an 8% commission on each order processed through the platform. This is deducted automatically at payout time.

GST/HST on commission

Petit Lunch's 8% commission is subject to GST/HST. You will receive a monthly invoice for platform fees.

Meal order GST/HST

School meal orders sold through Petit Lunch are zero-rated under the Excise Tax Act, Schedule V, Part III, s.14. Petit Lunch handles this automatically — you should not charge GST/HST on school meal orders.

Payout timing

Net payouts are transferred to your Stripe Connected Account on the schedule configured in your vendor settings. Payout timelines depend on Stripe's standard bank transfer times.

Payout disputes

Contact contact@petitlunch.com within 14 days of a payout if you believe there is an error.

5. Food Safety and Allergens

Critical obligation

You must ensure that all 14 Canadian priority allergens are accurately declared for every menu item. Inaccurate allergen information that results in harm to a student may result in immediate suspension from the platform and potential legal liability.

You are responsible for maintaining accurate ingredient and allergen information for all menu items.
You must comply with all applicable federal and provincial food safety regulations.
You must notify Petit Lunch immediately if a food safety incident occurs involving a meal delivered through the platform.

6. NSFP Compliance

If you serve schools participating in the National School Food Program (NSFP), you must ensure that the meals you provide meet NSFP federal nutrition standards. Petit Lunch generates NSFP compliance reports from your order and menu data — you are responsible for the accuracy of the underlying data.

7. Order Fulfilment

You must fulfil all confirmed orders by the delivery time agreed with the school.
If you are unable to fulfil an order, you must notify Petit Lunch immediately so parents can be refunded.
Repeated fulfilment failures may result in suspension or termination of your vendor account.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement with 30 days' written notice. Petit Lunch may suspend or terminate your account immediately for food safety violations, repeated fulfilment failures, fraudulent activity, or breach of these terms. Outstanding payouts for completed orders will be disbursed within 30 days of termination.

9. Limitation of Liability

Petit Lunch's total liability for any claim arising from use of the platform is limited to the commissions paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim. Petit Lunch is not liable for food safety incidents, allergen reactions, or regulatory violations arising from your products.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Ontario.
